UNASSIGNED: The Kannada version of the AQoL-4D was administered in a modified fashion to 131 parents (87 HA and 44 CI). Sociodemographic details were collected for supplemental information on the intervention strategy used.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 49 parents (29 HA and 20 CI) responded to the questionnaire sent. The mean total scores for both the groups were similar (HA group = 17.9 (SD = 5.5), CI group = 17.2 (SD = 3.4)), as was the score for the first subscale (HA group = 8.6 (SD = 2.9); CI group = 8.5 (SD = 2.6)) of the AQoL-4D. No significant differences were found between the two groups on either scores [Total Score: U (NHA = 29, NCI = 20) = 280.5, z = -0.194, p > 0.05; Subscale 1 Score: U (NHA = 29, NCI = 20) = 281.5, z = -0.176, p > 0.05]. The degree of hearing loss in the hearing aid group was equivalent to that of the cochlear implant group but this did not appear to influence parental quality of life.
UNASSIGNED: Parents of children with hearing aids and cochlear implants appear to be similar on several psychosocial factors in the realms of functional, social, and psychological well-being. In terms of parental quality of life, hearing aids and cochlear implants appear to be equally effective intervention techniques.
UNASSIGNED:Kannada版本的AQoL-4D以改良的方式给予131名父母(87HA和44CI)。收集社会人口统计详细信息,以补充有关所使用的干预策略的信息。
UNASSIGNED:共有49位父母(29位HA和20CI)回答了发送的问卷。两组的平均总分相似(HA组=17.9(SD=5.5),CI组=17.2(SD=3.4),AQoL-4D的第一分量表评分(HA组=8.6(SD=2.9);CI组=8.5(SD=2.6)).两组评分均无显著性差异[总分:U(NHA=29,NCI=20)=280.5,z=-0.194,p>0.05;子量表1评分:U(NHA=29,NCI=20)=281.5,z=-0.176,p>0.05]。助听器组的听力损失程度与人工耳蜗组的听力损失程度相同,但这似乎并不影响父母的生活质量。
